Here’s where things stand:

House Speaker Paul Ryan went to the White House to brief President Donald Trump on the latest efforts to pass the bill, known as the American Health Care Act. At least one report said Ryan told Trump they didn’t have the votes. But as of now the vote’s still going ahead. Members are debating on the House floor.

The NYT has only 149 "yes" or "lean yes" votes, this could be a hilarious bloodbath. They have 55 "undecided" or "lean no" people who are likely stampeding to the winning side.

So if they vote and it's essentially doomed to fail who but the most deranged right-wing lunatic in the safest, reddest district would actually vote for this death sentence?

there are more of those than you'd think

but honestly if I was a republican legislature I might decide that my constituents were going to hate republicans because of this bill regardless of which way I voted, while my base might care, so it might be worth it to walk the plank

or swallow a pistol, either would be a rational response to finding myself in that situation

either they're announcing the bill is pulled or they're announcing its time to walk the plank:
